Plasma shot out in all directions. Silver lightnings roared!


    "Uh!..."


    Zhang Tai groaned, enduring the hit.


    Even under the "Mountain" state with significant resistance to Star Power, his right leg and right abdomen were still torn open by the Thunder Element!


    At the very first exchange, Zhang Tai suffered a hidden loss.


    "It seems like he can leave Blast Bomb Traps at his feet. Is that a trap skill?" Zhang Tai frowned.


    Indeed, he had been reckless earlier, but he wouldn’t make the same mistake twice!


    Snorting coldly, Zhang Tai burst with Star Power, dispelling the residual Thunder Element on his body, and attempted to switch to the "Fire" state to attack again.


    At this moment, silver lightnings roared ahead, and dense waves of Thunder Element fluctuated.


    Chen Jiujun waved his Thunder Thorns Staff in front of him, and with each point, a silver Thunder Pearl of egg size hovered before him.


    As soon as these Thunder Pearls appeared, they pulsated and screeched violently. In a short moment, they matured one by one, transforming into silver electric beams that shot towards Zhang Tai!


    In the Mountain state, not only was his physical defense enhanced, but there was also a strong boost in Star Power resistance. Ordinary Star Power attacks couldn’t harm him.


    Zhang Tai’s expression didn’t change. He immediately gathered Star Power into his palm and struck at the silver electric beams.


    Unexpectedly, after hitting just two or three beams, a considerable wound was blasted open in Zhang Tai’s palm.


    "Such strong power!"


    Zhang Tai was startled. The power of these electric beams transformed from Thunder Pearls was far higher than he had imagined!


    Seeing more beams coming, Zhang Tai focused, knowing he couldn’t block them as they were. He decided to change his approach!


    With a thought, Zhang Tai circulated Star Power around his body, enduring the next two electric beams. At the same time, he opened his hands, releasing a large amount of Earth Element Star Power, forming a sturdy four-meter-high pyramid around himself!@@@@


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    One after another, the silver electric beams hit the pyramid, causing its surface to crack and shake. However, the pyramid was thick enough to withstand these beams without too much risk.


    "This can’t go on..."


    Zhang Tai felt a subtle unease. Although he could block the beams, he was firmly restricted in place by his opponent.


    "The Blue Star Artifact is really too powerful..."


    Understanding Du Tao’s intent, Shang Baiyu nodded: "Be careful."


    The Demon Capital Academy students were bustling around, while the entire arena became lively.


    As the first to defeat a Demon Capital student, Chen Jiujun, wielding his domineering Thunder Technique, became the focus of attention!


    "Amazing, this guy actually defeated Zhang Tai from the Demon Capital Academy!"


    "As expected of a rare Thunder-Type Magician, his attack power is incredible!"


    "I think his staff must be a Blue Star Artifact; otherwise, it wouldn’t be this powerful."


    "A Blue Star Artifact? No way, he has a Blue Star Artifact at the Bronze Level, seriously?!"


    ...


    "Look at Chen Jiujun; it seems like he doesn’t want to leave the arena. Does he intend to continue challenging Demon Capital Academy students?"


    "It seems so. This will be interesting. If the Demon Capital Academy gets beaten 1 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3, it’ll be an embarrassment, haha!"


    ...


    "Xiao Ming, is the Demon Capital Academy just like this? They can’t even beat a student from the Wanzhou Academy, ranked twelfth. They’re not as strong as I expected."


    "Right. As one of the Three Capitals Academy, they don’t seem that exceptional. I thought a Demon Capital student could at least take on two or three, but they’ve already lost by the second match."


    ...


    With Chen Jiujun’s victory, the students in the arena realized that the third-ranked Demon Capital Academy wasn’t invincible.


    As one of the Three Capitals Academy, the Demon Capital Academy suddenly became a target that everyone wanted to step over.


    Defeating a student from the Demon Capital Academy and spreading the news upon returning to their own academy would surely gain them tremendous face!


    Moreover, their teachers might reward them with academic points for such an achievement!


    Du Tao drew out a long stick and spoke coldly to Chen Jiujun: "Are you ready?"


    Though accidental injuries and even deaths were normal in competitions, the Wanzhou student opposite him had hurt his classmate, so Du Tao showed no kindness.


    What Du Tao didn’t expect was that Chen Jiujun stepped towards him.


    "What are you doing?" Du Tao asked, frowning in vigilance.


    Chen Jiujun walked past him directly and stopped near the Demon Capital students, loudly declaring: "Is Su Yuan here? I challenge him!"
